MJ in PA Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 much better.. ditch the rear 1980s shoulder pads and shrink the 400 cu ft headlights.. and we haves teh weinar. +1 And I think the windows look much better outlined in black than in chrome!

Throttlejockey Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 That sharp line above the front wheel flare should go too. Smooth out the rear saddlebags also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 yea, w/o those gone its still fail.. the shoulder pads are probably 70% of the 2010 fail.

ppettit2005 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I actually got to sit in a 2010 outback today at the dealership... and I absolutely hated it... almost everything about it too. I wanted to like it, I really did, I just didn't... I hated the E-brake, the changes made to the hood, the motor, the grill, the lights, the interior, the steering wheel, the shifter was apauling!!! the only thing that I did like was the stupid window frames!!! It seems as if the new car does exactly the same stuff as the old car, but just looks different and is more clumsy to use! They don't even give you an E-brake pedal on the left side of the steering wheel, they give you a handle on the left side of the steering wheel! They didn't make a step forward in terms of automotive design nor did they necesarily make one backwards, they made one sideways and then just spun around for the new design. And that's a real embarrassment because I loved the Subaru Legacies from about 2000 onward! I hate this car, I hope that the redesign it, or that we all buy Camry's!!!

Yeah, I sat in the new Legacy at the New York Auto Show, and I hate it too. I suspect that most of the changes we see are cost cutting measures. It occurred to me that even the ridiculous wheel well arches probably are a cost saving move - someone at Subaru probably looked at the add-on trim pieces that the previous gen Outback had around the wheel well, and figured they could save a few bucks by just molding the fenders to have them incorporated. Unfortunately, while it might work on trucks/SUV's, it looks ridiculous on the sedan. When you look at a 2009 Legacy next to the 2010, it's hard to believe that a company could possibly replace such a good looking car with something so ugly!

Jerboa113 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 what gets me is its almost a complete deviation from the norm too.. if you look at the evolution of body style the legacy has always changed gradually. From the 04 to 05 the body is basically the same, with upgrades to the front rear and interior (and powertrain.) Why all of a sudden do we have this blob of fat? Its like what those fat guys you see being helicoptor lifted out of their house cos they got too fat to walk would look like in car form. someone do some more Pshops to keep us on topic!

Jerboa113 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 not digging the vents. vents are an overdone cliche as it is these days. every 30 year old guy in cobb county with a crappy base model chrysler 300, dodge charger or busted ass 1990s impala with peeling paint has stick on "vents" on the sides of their front clip.. its shameful.. I'm grateful that my car does not have such things.

nemo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 ^agreed. ditch the vents. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppettit2005 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yep, not digging the vents... unless maybe they look like the vents off of the new STI's... that might work and make the whole Subaru design scheme a little bit more coherent/consistent.

IwannaSportSedan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have an idea (and it is a cross-post, but it is worth posting it twice...) If Subaru wants to copy... HERE's the pattern. Audi is supposedly not bringing this to the US, Mazda 6 5-door is no longer offered in the US. Subaru would have had a completely open market, unlike jumping into the shark-tank that is the mainstream sedan market. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/a5090040_large-1280.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/a5090032_large-1280.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/a5090049_large-1280.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberlegacy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 A very rough sketch, trying to blend cues from the BL and BR Legacy : http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/Uberlegacy/Scan10001.jpg Might try that idea IWannaSportSedan suggested, though...
